This blog is intended to do "exactly what it says on the tin" so below are some of my 'Thoughts on Music'. They predominantly concern recent matters but will not always do so. I'll also happily turn to matters of the music industry more generally if and when I feel so inclined. So there!
If you don't agree with something please feel free to add a comment. They are moderated by me (so I'll get to read it) and I might even reply. Above all however just enjoy whatever music you like!

Earlier this week I said I would complete the lyrics of 'Sunday at Devil Dirt' sooner rather than later. Today I was held to my promise and issued with a challenge.The source was http://www.alwaysontherun.net/ and, while this kind of thing may not always be possible in such a short time frame, here they are.

Piano Tango

This has no lyric, it is an instrumental track.

The Flame That Burns

The flame that burnsFlame that burnsThe flame that burnsFlame that burns

The flame that burnsFlame that burnsThe flame that burnsFlame that burns

Takes you through the yearsTakes you through the painCan't stop the tears when they fall like rainFor the flame that burnsFlame that burns

Beware my childBewareTake care my friendGot to take care

You don't know who to loveDon't know who to trustWhen it hurts so bad blood flows where it mustFor the flame that burnsFlame that burns

Unto eternityOne day we shallWe shall be freeWhen stars rain down like dust

Have heart my childOh but you mustDon't you hang your headDon't you feel no shame

If I were with you nowI would do the sameFor the flame that burnsFlame that burns

Shotgun Blues

Oooh daddy layin' on my bedOooh daddy layin' on my bedYou'd better take that shotgunAnd fill it full of lead

Oooh daddy love to hear you moan, lowOooh daddy love to hear you moanI know the night's for ramblingBut baby come on home

Oooh daddy climbing on your kneeOooh daddy climbing on your kneeGot an itch needs scratchingYou take good care of me

Keep Me In Mind Sweetheart

If you ever find that you've fallen behindPlease keep me in mind sweetheartIf your love is true then the money's on youAnd you'll know what to do sweetheart

Summer was high when you caught my eyeThough I was pledged to anotherThe feeling was strong when you came alongNow Lord only knows how I suffer

If it's part of God's planThen you'll find where I amJust keep me in mind sweetheartPlease keep me in mind sweetheart

Something To Believe

There's a mocking birdSinging in the treeOutside my windowLooking down on meGive me a reasonSomething to believeAnother seasonI will sit and grieve

That bad old sunForever shining onThe world keeps turningThough my hope is goneI close my eyesAnd when the day is doneI hang my headAnd dream about no one

Show me directionAnd I'm good to goI'm trying hardAlways fall so lowAnd when I fallThere'll be another starI'm chasing my tailAlways running

Oh it is so hardWith the answers I findWeary of heartWeary soulWeak of mindOh it is so hard

Now you heard my songWill you turn and go?Give me a reasonAnd I'll say it's soIf you stand by meI could never leave.

You'd be the reasonSomething to believe.

Something to believe.Something to believe.Something to believe.

Trouble

Trouble, oh trouble haven't slipped a day in yearsHaven't slipped a day in yearsHaven't slipped a dayTrouble, oh trouble haven't slipped a day in yearsHaven't slipped a day in yearsHaven't slipped a day

When the neon lights that find youLeave our memory far behind youDown the line I will remind youListen how I love you

Trouble, oh trouble haven't slipped a day in yearsHaven't slipped a day in yearsHaven't slipped a dayTrouble, oh trouble haven't slipped a day in yearsHaven't slipped a day in yearsHaven't slipped a day

When the world steals all hope from youWoder where you dreams have gone toYou're the one I still belong toListen why I love you

Sally Don't You Cry

Oh Sally don't you cryOh Sally don't you cryA man's a manDoes the best he canOh Sally don't you cry

Oh Sally don't you moanOh Sally don't you moanGo hang up the phoneGive the dog a boneOh Sally don't you moan

Sally it ain't so badSally it ain't so badI see you are madBut he's the best you've hadSally it ain't so bad

Oh Sally sail on bySweet Sally sail on byOh the times are hard when you question whyOh Sally sail on byOh Sally sail on byOh Sally sail on by
